Search built-in and cost effective document store as a service

Abstract

In one example, a method includes monitoring data access operations concerning a document space, recording information identified as part of the monitoring of data access operations, evaluating the recorded information to identify a data access pattern concerning the document space, defining a document space configuration based on the data access pattern, and provisioning a document space based on the document space configuration. Provisioning of the document space can take the form of provisioning a newly created document space, or modifying the provisioning of an existing document space.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A method, comprising:
 monitoring data access operations concerning a first document space; 
 recording information identified as part of the monitoring of data access operations; 
 evaluating the recorded information to identify a data access pattern concerning the first document space; 
 defining a document space configuration based on the data access pattern; and 
 provisioning a second document space based on the document space configuration, wherein the second document space comprises a container that groups a set of document types together, and the provisioning is based on attributes of documents that are to be stored in the second document space. 
 
     
     
       2. The method as recited in  claim 1 , wherein provisioning the second document space comprises provisioning a newly created document space shell, or modifying the provisioning of an existing document space. 
     
     
       3. The method as recited in  claim 1 , wherein provisioning of the second document space is performed by a document space microservice (DSS). 
     
     
       4. The method as recited in  claim 1 , wherein one of the data access operations concerns a backup operation or a restore operation. 
     
     
       5. The method as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising inserting a document into the second document space, and the document inserted in the second document space is usable by an application to perform a data protection process. 
     
     
       6. The method as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising performing an operation concerning a document residing in the second document space. 
     
     
       7. The method as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the second document space supports POST, GET, PUT, PATCH and DELETE operations. 
     
     
       8. The method as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the second document space supports multi-tenant access. 
     
     
       9. The method as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the data access pattern relates to any one or more of expected maximum documents, real-time performance, time-based access, user-based access, physical isolation, or logical isolation. 
     
     
       10. A non-transitory storage medium having stored therein computer-executable instructions which are executable by one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
 monitoring data access operations concerning a first document space; 
 recording information identified as part of the monitoring of data access operations; 
 evaluating the recorded information to identify a data access pattern concerning the first document space; 
 defining a document space configuration based on the data access pattern; and 
 provisioning a second document space based on the document space configuration, wherein the second document space comprises a container that groups a set of document types together, and the provisioning is based on attributes of documents that are to be stored in the second document space. 
 
     
     
       11. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in  claim 10 , wherein provisioning the second document space comprises provisioning a newly created document space shell, or modifying the provisioning of an existing document space. 
     
     
       12. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in  claim 10 , wherein provisioning of the second document space is performed by a document space microservice (DSS). 
     
     
       13. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in  claim 10 , wherein one of the data access operations concerns a backup operation or a restore operation. 
     
     
       14. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in  claim 10 , further comprising inserting a document into the second document space, and the document inserted in the second document space is usable by an application to perform a data protection process. 
     
     
       15. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in  claim 10 , wherein the processes further comprise performing an operation concerning a document residing in the second document space. 
     
     
       16. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in  claim 10 , wherein the second document space supports POST, GET, PUT, PATCH and DELETE operations. 
     
     
       17. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in  claim 10 , wherein the second document space supports multi-tenant access. 
     
     
       18. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in  claim 10 , wherein the second document space is a JSON-based document store. 
     
     
       19. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in  claim 10 , wherein the second document space is part of a datastore that includes a search engine. 
     
     
       20. A physical computing device, wherein the physical computing device comprises:
 one or more hardware processors; and 
 the non-transitory storage medium as recited in  claim 10 .
